Djisves Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 2 hours ago, doubleo20 said: i have installed the exe file I may not have understood correctly, but just in case: The .exe file is the installation file. Only download the .exe file if you have the free version of Paint.NET. Extract the .exe file from the zip you have down loaded to your desktop. Don't copy the .exe file into the Effects folder. Keep the .exe file on your desktop. Double click the .exe file to install the plugins. If you have the store version, download the Zipped DLLs files on the forst post and follow the instructions On 2/18/2008 at 11:00 PM, KrisVDM said: Download the zipped DLL package (click the gray button) Extract the DLLs to the folder /Documents/paint.net App Files/Effects/ (create the folders if they are not present) Restart paint.net * /Documents/ may be translated to your system language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can download a zipped pack of DLLs for manual installation with the Store version of paint.net. You will need to Download the zipped DLL package (click the big gray button) Extract the DLLs to the folder /Documents*/paint.net App Files/Effects/ Restart paint.net * the name of this folder may be translated to your system language Thanks. Worked for me and by the way running the Store and Classic versions on the same PC does not cause any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otuncelli Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) The installer doesn't require administrator rights to install. Not many installers do this 👍 This means Classic version users (Program Files\paint.net) without Administrator rights can still use the installer. It will install the files into <Documents>\paint.net App Files\Effects 99% of the time even if you have the Classic version and Administrator rights. It works fine for me. It'd be nice if you could provide a way for Portable versions of Paint.NET as well. Edited January 22, 2022 by otuncelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDP Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Must be doing something wrong - can't get any sense out of the Drop Shadow Plugin - nothing happens. The Average Blur works, so they are installed correctly Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user.by Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Can i ask something? Why those effect dlls have a long name. I think DropShadow.dll is enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is more than one drop shadow effect (made by different authors)... the long name keeps the dll names unique.

MadameMinty Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 After using the new 4.3 installer Effects>Object>Drop Shadow disappeared and won't appear even when I drag the DLLs from Documents to the installation folder's Effects, where I have everything else. I use the classic version of Paint.NET, 4.3.7. The old DLLs I restored from a backup, signed as version 3.8.0.0, work flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like the installer did what it is supposed to do, but somehow Paint.NET doesn't load the new DLLs. I have no idea why that might be the case. Was Paint.NET running while you ran the installer? If it was, can you please try again while Paint.NET is not running? Does that help? In Paint.NET's settings window, do you see any plugin errors? If so, which ones? Quote Kris VandermottenDownload my Paint.NET Effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
